I would like to take this opportunity to
convey our coaching staff’s enthusiasm for the 2017 Football Season.
Our off-season has been a great success so far due largely to the
support from our parents and the commitment from our student
athletes. With that being said, as the summer approaches it is now
the most critical portion of our off-season.

A major emphasis for our program and the
success we strive to continue to achieve is communication. If you
have not already done so, please EMAIL your son’s coach so you can
be added to our distribution list. Please also include a parent
phone number to contact in case of any issues that may arise. Email
addresses are listedbelow.

Football is a demanding sport both
during the season and in the off-season. At Watervliet, we will
expect the best from your child in preparation for this upcoming
season. Strength training, conditioning sessions and football camps
are all ways that we can improve both individually and as a team.
Our strength training sessions benefit far more than just physical
strength gains. We feel the greater achievements are developing the
mental toughness of our athletes and the building of their
self-confidence. We expect our players to train at the high school
fitness center over the summer with their teammates. They may work
out at public gyms on days where they do not have an obligation to
their teammates.

The summer is not a time to focus
exclusively on football, we understand that. We know your child has
family obligations, vacations (July being the best time for
vacation), and involvement in other sports. These are all very much
encouraged by our coaching staff. We would just ask that you contact
your son’s coach to let them know if he will be missing an extended
period of time. Communication is a critical component of our program
and it cannot start early enough.

If you have any questions regarding
football at Watervliet please do not hesitate to contact myself or
another coach. We are here for your child and will do anything in
our power to make his football experience a positive and memorable
one.
